Default Big Sam Thompson played both for Det. NL and Det. AL
Posted By: dennis

the right field was very short but the increase in HRs was due to a rule change...prior anything hit over the fence to rt. was a 2b but in 1884 it was changed to a HR,thus the high totals for that year.then i think it was changed back to a 2 base hit.
